How do I know if I need hormone therapy?

Hormone therapy may be right for you if menopause or perimenopause symptoms are affecting your quality of life. Common indicators include:

  • Frequent or severe hot flashes and night sweats
  • Sleep disruption not explained by other causes
  • Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood that began around the time of cycle changes
  • Brain fog or memory difficulties
  • Vaginal dryness or pain during intercourse
  • Unexplained fatigue or low energy
  • Joint pain, muscle discomfort, or loss of libido

Who benefits most: Women in perimenopause or within 10 years of menopause who are under 60 generally experience the greatest benefits with the fewest risks.

Next step: Book an MHT consultation at booking.quick.md. Your clinician will review your symptoms, health history, and labs to determine if hormone therapy is right for you.
